Steps:
- Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add the beet greens, and cook uncovered until tender, about 2 minutes.

BEETS AND GREENS
Roasted beet pieces nestled among their sauteed greens makes a beautiful, delicious side dish. If yellow beets are available, double the recipe using a bunch of red and a bunch of yellow -- gorgeous! My brother spent 50 years hating beets, but he loves them prepared this way. I think these go especially well with pork or chicken. This recipe can easily be doubled, tripled, or expanded to whatever amount you need without adding very much to the preparation time.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
- Rub the beets with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and place onto prepared baking sheet. Place in preheated oven, and bake until the beets can be easily pierced with a fork, 20 to 60 minutes depending on size. When done, allow to cool on the baking sheet until cool enough to handle, then remove and discard the skin, and cut the beets into wedges or slices.
- Meanwhile, cut the beet greens in to 1/4 inch wide ribbons. Heat the remaining tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion; cook and stir until it begins to turn golden brown, about 10 minutes. Once the onions have begun to caramelize, stir in the beet greens and cook until they wilt. Add the beet slices and continue cooking until heated through. Season with sea salt and pepper before serving.

SAUTEED BEET GREENS
The next time your bunch of beets come with fresh greens attached, put them to work in this super-quick side dish.

HOW TO COOK BEET GREENS
The tops from beets, the stems and leaves which are together known as beet greens, are sweet and delicious when prepared very simply by simmering them for a short time and then stirring them with butter and salt.

Steps:
- Trim the beet greens from the beets. Leave a good inch of stem attached to the beets because that's best for roasting beets (it stops the beets from bleeding red as much if you don't actually cut into their flesh). Set beets aside for another use.
- Cut the stems and leave into 2 inch pieces. Put the pieces into a colander and rinse them really well. Often there is a lot of sandy, grainy dirt on the stems and leaves and you want to get rid of that.
- Put about an inch of water into a medium sauce pan and bring it to a boil.
- Add about 1/2 teaspoon of salt and stir it in.
- Add your stems and leaves to the sauce pan.
- Bring back to a boil over high heat and then stir and reduce to a simmer. Cook for 3-5 minutes until a stem is very soft when pierced with a fork.
- Drain the beet greens. Be sure to use a clean colander. You don't want the dirt from before to end up on your cooked greens.
- Return the beet greens and stems to the sauce pan or a serving dish and add about 1/2 tablespoon of butter. Stir and taste. Add salt if desired.

HOW TO COOK BEET GREENS
While most people know how to cook beets or beetroots, not many people know how to cook the greens of beets. These are a little saltier and stronger-flavored than most greens, but can easily be transformed into a tender and delicious side...

Steps:
- Trim off the stems (optional). The stems are edible, but not everyone likes their bitter taste. If you're not willing to try them, cut off the stems just below the leaves. You can remove the thick stem base from the largest leaves as well, cutting them out in a V pattern. Like all greens, these will sauté down to a much smaller volume. You can cook a large mound at once, as long as it fits in your skillet. Put the lid on and simmer the greens to wilt them down.
- Roll up the leaves and chop them. Bunch the leaves together and roll them into a cylinder. Chop them into bite-size pieces, at roughly ½-1 inch (1.25-2.5 cm) intervals. If using the stems, chop them into chunks of similar size.
- Wash the greens. You can use a salad spinner, or submerge the greens in a bowl of water and rub off any noticeable dirt. Leave it for a couple seconds to let grit sink to the bottom. Lift out the leaves and repeat if necessary until the water comes out clear. Move the leaves to a separate bowl, leaving them damp. If using the stems, wash them in a separate bowl.
- Blanch the greens (optional). This will preserve the bright, green color, but the beet greens will cook fine without it. Here's how to go about it: Prepare an ice bath: a bowl of cold water and ice. Submerge the greens in boiling water for one minute. Remove the hot greens with tongs or drain them into a strainer or colander. Place them in the ice bath until cold. Drain into a strainer.
- Heat olive oil in a skillet. Add enough extra-virgin olive oil to coat the base of your skillet or frying pan, about 1-2 tablespoons (15-30 mL). Heat over medium heat until the oil shimmers, or a drop of water sizzles when flicked onto the oil.
- Cook stems for 4 minutes (optional). If using the chopped beet stems, add them to the pan first. Sauté for 4 minutes, or until slightly softened.
- Add and cook garlic for 1 minute. Dice two cloves of garlic; add them to the pan. Cook for about one minute, or until the garlic turns translucent. Optionally, add a diced shallot and/or ¼ tsp (1 mL) red pepper flakes.
- Cook the leaves and cover until wilted. Add the chopped leaves to the pan without stirring. Cover and let wilt to a much smaller mound, about 1-3 minutes. The water from the rinsing should be enough to steam the leaves slightly. If the leaves don't start shrinking within 30-60 seconds, or if the garlic starts turning brown, add a couple more spoonfuls of water.
- Serve or cook with acidic flavors. Vinegar or lemon juice cuts the bitter flavor of the beet greens. Provide lemon wedges to squeeze over the greens, or remove from heat and splash them with your favorite type of vinegar. For a more intense acidic flavor, add 1-2 tablespoons (15-30 mL) vinegar to the pan along with the juice of one orange. Simmer for an additional 2-3 minutes or until liquid has boiled away. Serve topped with orange zest. Beet greens are high in sodium already, but you may add a pinch of salt and pepper if you think the dish needs more flavor.
SAUTEED BEET GREENS
My grandmother would pan-fry beet greens with garlic and olive oil. Following her example, I added sun-dried tomatoes and capers for a little more pop! The kids love it and it's quick and easy. Please note, although I have measurements listed, I am a 'pinch here and pinch there' type of cook. You may need to adjust for your personal taste.
